The
San Diego International Children's Film Festival
October 21 o 30, 2005
The San
Diego International Children's Film Festival will showcase full-length feature
films for children of all ages and teens, and short films for children ages 7
and under, Oct. 21-30 at the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego's historic
Balboa Park. The call for entries is now open at www.sdchildrensfilm.org. The
festival held its first-ever event in April, showing 65 short films from around
the world. Actor-director LeVar Burton appeared at the festival, as did several
other filmmakers. The
festival also invited San Diego-area students to make field trips to the museum
before the festival, to get an early glimpse of the films. Such outreach programs
are an integral part of the festival's long-term goals. The
non-profit festival seeks to bring quality films from around the world made for
children to San Diego. The idea is to introduce area children to different nationalities
and filmmaking techniques, in hope that children will not only gain valuable insight
into the perspectives of different cultures, but also a better appreciation of
film and its possibilities. Included
in the April festival were short films from the United States, Mexico, Canada,
England, Croatia, Iran, South Africa, India, Hong Kong, Kenya, Ecuador, Germany,
the Czech Republic, Italy, Estonia, Australia, Argentina and Spain.
